Emax

Thanks, but eventhough I've spent more than $25 in time just trying to fix 
this, paying $25 bucks for those floppies just feels wrong.... especially 
when I don't know if that's the problem, because I've tried so many 
different things already.

I just went down to my co-op's coupter lab where they have an old 233mhz 
computer and emx'ed 6 floppies but none worked.
